This course examines the challenge of doing business across different cultures and its impact on global management practices. The main objective for students is to develop an open mind set in order to be able to successfully communicate in a global world and to conduct successful business on an international scale. Students will gain important cross-cultural insights in an interactive and collaborative class-room setting and hands-on experience whilst discussing cases examining different cultures and corporate settings.

Among the topics covered are: the impact of cultural diversity on conducting global business, value sets, emotions and communication styles (F2F vs virtual), cross-cultural teams, international negotiations, and cultural intelligence. The aim of this course is to prepare students for working with global companies while learning how to adapt themselves to different situations and challenges in intercultural management.
